BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.


 Passions Slave" is a success It was pro- dueed to crowded houses at Bunnell's Grand Opera House yesterday afternoon and even ing. Not only does it delight that part of an audience which is only to be thrilled by the most palpable virtue and vice, made to laugh by the simplest fun and astonished by the trickiest scenery. It was strong and prob able story of man whose passionate i'm pulses lead him into unpremeditated crimes of jealous rage, and whose sufferings, bravery and repentance win the sympathy of the audience. The language is feeling, the scenes have stirring climaxes, without any forced CT meaningless commotion and the level comprehension is descended to without sacrificing literary merit Miss Carrie Win ship takes the leading role very acceptably Excellent attractions in the museum hall.
 JOSEPH HAwoRTH IN RosEDALE.
 MT. Joseph Haworth and his company pre- sented Lester Wallack's great success stRose- dale;' before small audience at the Hyperion Theater last evening. "Rosedale' when pre- scented with sufficient scenery and stage set- tings by large company of capable artists is always sure of success. Such presentation it did not receive last evening. Mir Haworth made first rate Elliott Grey, but his easy, nonchalant acting fell flat for want of proper
 
 pretty as Rosa Leigh and evidently did her very best to make the piece s'go," but with the exception of MT. Sydney Drew who made quite a little fun in the low comedy part of Burberry Kobb," the remaining members of the company were positively bad. MT. Hs- surround himself with a much better compa- ny before he can hope for financial success. "Rosedale" will be repeated tonight and to- morrow afternoon and evening.
 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 The "Gorman's Spectacular Minstrels' under the management of Fred E. Wright will appear at the New Haven Opera House tomorrow evening. The programme pre- pared is said to be the newest and most novel ever presented in minstrelsy, using spectacular effects, producing minstrelsy upon higher plane, appealing to the tastes of the cultured and refined. The scenery is very elaborate. The afterpiece is full of intricate properties, trick scenery and origi- nal music and many novelties that have heretofore been foreign to the minstrel stage.
 HYPERION THEATER.
 Dixey, New York's famous ''Adonis," will appear at the Hyperion Theater Friday even- ing and at Saturday matinee and Saturday evening. The metropolis has enjoyed this ualnIy ana graceTul AQOn1S over 64O times, London an even hundred, Boston ninety seven and other cities many times The Hyperion will undoubtedly be packed Friday evening when the curtain is rung up and Dixey for the 1, 161st time displays his shape ly limbs in attitudes as graceful as the mas culine understandings are capable of assum- ing. The young ladies of the company have been blessed by nature with unusual physical charms. The sale of seats commences this morning at o'clock at Loomis' Temple of Music. tr.---s-
 THATCHER, PRIMROSE WEST.
 Thatcher, Primrose and Vests minstrels, so we'll known to New Haven theater goers, will appear at the Hyperion Theater October 5. The Baltimore Sun says: ''The new de- parture of the old favorites is evidently ap- preciated highly. Nothing could be more becoming or in better taste than the new costumes, which are sufficiently colored to be highly attractive, and are without the least appearance of exaggeration. The programme is full of witty sayings and doings, the ma jority of which are entirely new. The man agers of this troupe have spent much time and money in the perfection of their idea, and, in return, have made a decided hit.
